In this section we will attempt to address some of the most discussed (and possibly misunderstood and misrepresented) topics about the company. We will also use this section for news releases, and other important information about the company. The format will be in blog form, in that the information is sorted by date (newest at bottom).

Dilution: There has been intense discussion about the dilution of the stock by Mr. Samblis.

There has been no dilution of the stock (see Steve's response to this topic here and here and here). (Note1: We do not recommend this site, as it is the root of most of the negative and inaccurate information about the company - see message board page for more info) Note2:( This is a public statement by the CEO of the company. Any public misrepresentation of facts about the company could land the CEO in hot water).

Can I watch PunchTV now? If so, where ?:

No... PunchTV off the air. However, click here for a link to VU Television Network now broadcasting on FilmOn.

==> See ALL of Mr. Samblis's Investors Hangout public posts here: http://investorshangout.com/profile/latestposts/id/1966 (its extremely important to distinguish between a publically traded company's CEO posting publically... and that of a basher hiding behind an alias - one has everything to lose, while the anonymous poster bashing the company has nothing to lose. Which one would you find more creditable ?)

11/12/2012 - a certain basher on the LieHub board keeps bringing up the subject of a reverse split (R/S). He frequently cites a R/S as if its a forgone conclusion. Although we can't find the post during this writing, we believe Steve has addressed this issue as untrue. However... even if it were to be possible, or true, here is a link demonstrating that a R/S is not always a bad thing for a company. In FACT the reality is - "An equity strategist at Birinyi Associates studied the 14 stocks in the S&P 500 index that have reverse split since 2000. Of those, 12 were higher a year later. The average gain was 62.55%, CNBC reports." See complete article here: http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post.aspx?post=a13bd075-cc2c-42bf-81b5-d69a5c8d3b1c and a good post on the subject here. (notice that this post was deleted from the board)

(Update: as of 6/23/2013 the content on the MSN Money link above has been replaced, but there is still some related value at the link, so we left it active. Here is the original report.)

11/14/2012 - Release of the 10-K report. WOW... what a day. Report was released towards the end of the day, but with trading time still remaining, and the PPS dropped over 40% to a low of .0042. It did recover slightly to .0045 by the close. Report detailed increase in sales profits (700%), and increases in assets 200k to 3 million), and book value increased by 10 times... however there was a net operating loss of over 6-million. Most of this loss was due to the purchase of PunchTV and stock compensation to officers (restricted shares). Some investors were upset over the increase in Authorized Shares to 4-billion.

Steve came on the LieHub board to face the wolves - a bold move in our opinion. However, he answered every "serious" question put to him about the report, and the future of the company. We were not dissatisfied with his answers. We started recording the post numbers, but there were so many of them that its best if you just went to the day and started at post # 84737. As of this writing, Steve responded to over 40 questions in over 3 hours.

11/30/2012 - Bogus controversy started on LieHub, then infected the Investors Hangout board, recently about ICPA uplisting to the OTC-QX board. You can follow the thread if you like, however you will get the facts from Steve himself, here, here, here, here, and here. Looks like the bashers have moved over from LieHub to Investors Hangout. Its nice to see a CEO come on the message board and set the record straight, and at the same time show what the creditability is of the posters who perpetuated this bogus rumor.

12/7/2010 - Issue (flavor of the day/month) - shorting of PNCH. There are some posts here, here, and here... and Steve adds a post here. It seems as though there is never a SHORTage of bogus issues to bash the company with.

12/12/2012 - RantFinance posts a great opinion article on the potential with IC Punch Media: Here.

12/19/2012 - Steve responds to the issues/problems with the FilmOn app: here, here, here and a follow up here.

Read more here.

1/30/2013 - Joseph Collins sets the record straight over on the LieHub - see the post here. (this has apparently been verified now, here, or here )

2/8/2013 - The bashers over on LieHub have been at the Reverse Split scare tatic again, and Steve, once again, flately denies any such action. See his response here.

2/14/2013 - PunchTV President Joseph Collins responds to a post on Investors Hub. See the original post here, and see his response here.

2/15/2013 - Bashers trying to draw attention to a FINRA report on Steve as being something bad. See the report here and judge for yourself. As usual, the bashers post either half-truths, or outright lies, and think you will not do the research to verify the accusation.

2/19/2013 - Exclusive Hollywood style bash on Sunday April 14, 2013 at The Jon Lovitz Club - see details here.

2/20/2013 - An interesting article in PRNewswire (here) about a meeting between Morgan Stanley and the Black Shopping Channel (BSC). In this article it highlights the plans of BSC to make an IPO for the company. When reading the article we were struck by the comparison of BSC and PunchTV. It would appear, based on statements in the article, that PunchTV certainly has more going for it than BSC, yet Morgan Stanly indicated that if BSC goes ahead with imminent plans for the IPO, the PPS could be around $5.00 a share. However, and here is the take your breath away part... if they wait until potential viewership reached 65-million - they could have an IPO PPS of around $70.00. Unfathomable that PNCH (which already has over 60-million potential viewers) could be selling for somewhere near $70.00 pert share. Read the article and judge for yourself.

2/22/2013 - Unbelievable ! LieHub deleted a response by Steve last night, wherein he was rebutting Paulyb's repeated (ad nauseam) assertions that Steve is diluting the company by selling shares. Steve stated (and we're paraphrasing here because it was deleted) that for the 10th and final time... he has not sold a single share. So they deleted that, but HERE is a post that gives a flavor of the venom over on that board, and the nut-jobs they allow to continually post garbage. Like we said... unbelievable!

2/23/2013 - Excellent post by the CEO. Read ithere. Steve addresses some contraversy brewing on LieHub. Also he adds some good advice about investing in the stock market, and finishes with a challenge for the bashers. Great stuff !

2/24/2013 - Steve posts a plea about responding to bashers, here. Good advice, because if they are "paid" bashers, they likely receive compensation for every response one of their posts generates. If they are simply sick individuals posting unsupported garbage, then you will be feeding their ego by responding directly to them. There was a related post here that addresses bashing also, and would be worth following the conversation on the issue. ALSO... see our blog post entitled "Bashing... its a tough job, but..." here.

2/25/2013 - There was a big dust-up over the weekend regarding the issue of SEC comment letters. See the letters here, here, and here. Steve responded to the issue here, here, and here, and here is the amended 10-K (and here are the attachments/exhibits). Additionally, since there is only Steve's word that he responded to the 1/22/13 letter from the SEC, there have been many calls for Steve to produce documentation of either his response to the 1/22/13 letter, or, documentation from the SEC that the issue has been addressed satisfactorily (such as here ). As of this writing, no such documentation has been produced publically, such that either message board could see.

2/27/2013 - although the SEC issue is still a hot topic on LieHub... Steve posted another post about it here. Although this is a non-issue in Steve's mind, it appears the basher crew over on LieHub will not let it go until they see some supporting documentation regarding Steve's stated response regarding the phone call and letter post-1/22/13 SEC letter to him.

3/15/2013 - Bashers still at it over on LieHub. And, as if you needed another example of the bias over there, here is an example of a bashers post being "stickied" , while the CEO's response is deleted. The CEO's post has since been reinstated, although we don't know for how long. See the bashers posthere, and the CEO's responsehere.
